The Trip To Greece (2020)

There is some spectacular drone camerawork in this fourth Steve Coogan-Rob Brydon The Trip-movie, making the most of the Greek countryside, and again spectacular food and amusing impersonations (all the same ones - Mick Jagger, Bane, Small Man in a Box, Michael Caine - none new) but my tolerance of the hosts' good fortune is definitely waning, and the side stories (a family death, especially) are protracted and add a new unwelcome morose tone.

The Trip to Spain (2017)

The Trip, this third time, is a trip to Spain, but otherwise everything else is the same including Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan's impersonations.

The Trip To Italy (2014)

British comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon go on a trip to Italy, reviewing food for The Observer and they're such good company and so effortlessly entertaining with their banter and impressions that you can't even resent them their incredible good fortune, not even when Coogan says, wine in hand looking out over someplace gorgeous from the balcony of an upmarket restaurant, "It doesn't get any better than this," and you are on the couch in a flat that needs tidying, with work in the morning - not a yacht trip on the Amalfi Coast - so, well, perhaps you resent them a little...three, not four stars.
